Expected NCAA Finish as of 1/16/24 Intermat Rankings - The David Bowie Edition


Recommended Posts

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes. Turn and face the stranger.

And let's start by greeting those strangers.

Intermat welcomes a host of previously unranked wrestlers to the land of the ranked. Welcome to the club gentlemen. Take a seat anywhere. The meeting will start on March 21st.

In addition to the 13 new wrestlers joining the ranked club, there was a pretty good shake up at 125, 174 and 157. This late in the season it is not normal to see this kind of volatility.

As expected we have a sixth team expected to finish second. Iowa has rallied hard from a weak sixth to a strong second. And still no Ben Kueter in the 285 rankings, so we have that to look forward to, as well.

And finally we get to the race for the big trophy.

While better than the post SVN fall out, things keep getting tighter for PSU in spite of the additions of Davis and Kasak to the rankings. That is a testament to how far Iowa has come. It is still an expected runaway victory (48.5 points), but Jimmy will be happy to see that PSU is clearly on a path for misery by late March.

Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

With all your data can you somewhat predict when Jimmy will make his annual Iowa beats PSU thread?

That he hasn't already has me concerned. Hopefully it is nothing. Maybe he started a new job and got distracted.

Someone should pay you for all your great work ... or, minimally, give you a free ticket to NCAAs each year.

8 schools have 10 ranked wrestlers and another 4 have 9 ranked wrestlers. That has to be some kind of concentration of power record likely attributable to the transfer portal. 

Ranked how high?  If not top 15 or top 10 doesn't mean much for team points.

Gotta say, I’m not sure they finish #2 but Iowa still being so high despite the guys that are currently suspended is impressive, even if most of it is due to the transfer portal.  I’d like to say in my best Cinnybuns voice that they might have made it interesting with PSU (only due to SVN being out), but they probably don’t.  They’re showing down by 50 with PSU likely having more upside, and Cass/Brands/Assad probably would’ve only added somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 incremental points or so.
